    No, he had a very short name. Like Ceb or Kas or something.

    Though I remember fondly "hello sir". Some kid who was banned within minutes of registering everytime for saying something stupid.

    Both Ceb and Kaz were on there. I developed a hatred for Ceb to the extent that I got IP banned for politely PM'ing him telling him what a complete c*nt I thought he was.

    Good times.

    I also had a right feud with jeffk but I became fond of his simple ways as times passed.:pac:

    Howdy lads, an old-poster-cum-lurker here,

    I'm thinking of doing my photo-thesis on the Irish Wrestling scene this year and was wondering if anyone would have any pointers on who to contact, who's got the best 'look' and where all the lads are generally based.

    I'll be researching myself more obviously if I do chose it, but I was wondering what people's general consensus on the current scene is too. How they feel about it and whether it's a black hole, a great training ground or great entertaining nights.

    I think it could be interesting, more interesting than my Priests and Paramedics idea, anyway...

    Cheers

    Do any of you guys use any other wrestling forums? I've been having a look around the net and it seems the bigger ones, usually American based, are filled with "ratings this" and "ratings that", I rate this one an extra third higher than you and I'm a bit lower than you at ***5/8.

    Bizarre stuff to me :confused:

    I actually just signed up to F4Wonline.com a couple of hours ago. Mainly for the newsletters and the audio shows but I might venture into the 'board'. Worth a visit?

    Just out of curiosity, what appeals you to it? It hit me like a tonne of bricks there a few months ago how it was such a waste of money. My opinion, of course.

    I love the audio. Alan, Mike Coughlin and most of the other audio is fantastic. Worth the ten dollars alone for that. Then you get the online Observer newsletter every week. Plus the Board is a good way to kill time when you're arseing around.

    I always thought Mike Coughlan was a bit of a dweeb, for want of a better word. Alan is sound though.

    I'll take two pints a month over it though :cool:

    You don't have to sub for one year. I'd recommend a one month sub just to see if you'd like it.

    Coughlin is funny. He just can't grow a beard. He also isn't Irish enough for ya IIRC :pac:

    Alan is very cool. Wish he posted here. He has great guests on like Rob Naylor and Justin and Eamo.

    I just think, personally, that that website dictates peoples opinions on wrestling. Listening to somebody like Bryan, Dave, Vinny or whoever's opinions on something isnt worth that much money, imo. And Bryan especially hasnt that much of a clue what hes on about. They watch it from a buisness standpoint, going on about things being good for buisness and ratings all day. It isnt for people who just watch wrestling as fans, and dont really care too much if the Nexus angle is good or bad for buisness. Why should I, as a fan, care if something is good or bad for buisness? Thats just the way i sees it for meself anyway

    That's the thing though. People take what Bryan and Dave say as fact. We call them Brybots. They can't forge their own thoughts so they take Meltzer's.

    But Dave and Bryan rely on the business for work. If it's good they get more subscribers but when it's bad they lose interest and business.

    But thats the thing again. Why would fans care if some lads called Bryan and Dave dont have work? I'm not having a go at ya by the by, I was just baffeled by the carry on of people on that site and cant really get how they get so much enjoyment out of it. Some people there care much more about numbers than the quality of wrestling thats on telly every week

    Never had much interest in Meltzer. Never heard of this Coughin fella or the other lad ya mentioned, but I must check them up and might try the site out for a month sometime down the road.

    My username is the same as it is here.

    I use to get the hardcopy Observer for a while ages ago but I always got mine way late and it cost something stupid i think. Then I never bothered to sign up for the site since they merged cause most of the news in it was on other sites a couple of hours after it was published.

    But now the new house that I'm moving into for college doesn't have cable as far as I know and I thought this would be a good way of keeping up with what's going on if I can't watch the show. Honestly, I just downloaded a random Bryan and Vinny show reviewing Impact and I'd much rather listen to that than actually watch most Impacts. The newsletters a really a bonus but I'd say it'd be cool to read some of the old Observers.
